Governance

THE STRUCTURE

The purpose of our organizational structure is to base the foundation two main pillars – one to drive strategy and evaluation and the other to pilot operational management – while assuring a cooperative working relationship between both arms, our stakeholders and our Advisory Board.

The Board of Directors shapes the foundation’s mission, goals and strategies based on recommendations received from Foundation Staff.

It will outline where we can make the biggest difference in our areas of focus – the people and coastline of Italian communities, starting in Genoa.

It will set the overall direction towards achieving these goals and provide a roadmap to guide our grantmaking and selection of charitable projects, based on recommendations received from the Advisory Board.

It will interact with the Foundation Staff who will oversee operations, maintaining an ongoing dialogue with the foundation’s partners in order to understand progress and results achieved, reflecting on any lessons learned and making any necessary adjustments.

THE PEOPLE

Our independent Board of Directors brings the necessary skills and experiences needed to achieve the Foundation’s goal of serving the community and solving environmental problems.

Board members pledge to work with honesty and integrity, adhering to the principles of openness and transparency.

All are committed to the foundation’s charitable purpose and to helping people and communities build better lives and healthier environments.

The Board will make sure the resources provided by Costa Crociere are used wisely in supporting projects that will bring lasting change. It will pursue respectful leadership and treat applicants and grantees fairly and respectfully in the management of these resources.
